Simple and inexpensive resources that could make a pretty good difference in your food photography, regardless of type of camera or experience you have.

In
this tutorial you'll find practical ideas to style food, to design. Something useful that could make an amazing difference in your food presentations! The tips that you will find in this magazine are the same techniques that I use
myself to style my dishes as a cook working in a professional kitchen
and as a food blogger. I hope you will enjoy reading this tutorial as much as I enjoyed writing and creating it! This is for 'you' ! Yes, You.

My goodness, Aldy, your photos are IDEAS are simply stunning!!!!! I think this is a wonderful idea, and if I had TIME, I would most certainly get into my cooking again. Before becoming a teacher (nine years now), I used to cook A LOT and I have stacks of fine cooking magazines. But now, my husband is LUCKY if he even gets a home-cooked meal these days!!! But this is fabulous and thank YOU for visiting! ENJOY YOUR END of week! Anita

Wow, this is so generous Aldy, to share your know-how! I tried my hands at food styling last summer, but know i still have to improve my skills. Can't wait to have a look at your magazine here. Have a happy weekend, full of gorgeous food and much love!

Thanks for sharing, I thought this was great. I find both the styling and the photgraphing for my blog sometimes the most exhausting piece of it all, but sometimes the most exhilarating too (when I get THAT shot). It is trial and error and mostly I am just playing.Oh, man, those tricks from professionals...yikes! My food is meant to actually be eaten so I don't to any of that. Sometimes I photograph something that's cold when it should be hot, or I have scooped my ice cream into the shape I want it and then I refreeze to help it stay harder longer while I am shooting, but those other tricks? SCARY!

Such a great tutorial! And so nice of you Aldy, to share your tips with us! I have a date next week with a TV cook in germany, who will make something good to be shown in the magazine. Will show this to our photographer and develop a styling myself - let's see how it goes. I already know, from a trial in summer, that it is hard work, but also fun!
